My first visit to Striper Bites occurred on a Tuesday evening around 5:45 pm. As I approached the door to enter I noticed there were tables outdoors with heaters to allow year round patio dining. Upon entering I found there was plenty seating available, however we chose to sit at the bar to see if they offered an type of Happy Hour specials.

Which they did, and we were just in time to take advantage of it. Happy hour is offered Tuesday to Saturday from 4 to 6 pm, and on Sunday from 11:30 am until 9 pm. I enjoyed the Fried Brussel Sprouts for $6 which are served with horsey sauce (horseradish and sour cream), parmesan, bacon and sherry. Also, for $10 I enjoyed even more the Lewes Beach Bruschetta, which has a perfect combination of roasted squash, sun-dried tomatoes, a house cheese blend, house bread, basil pesto, and a balsamic reduction.

For my main entre I opted for the Shrimp and Grits which is gluten free and consists of chorizo, jalapeno grits, roasted tomato, garlic and white wine. This is a rendition of one of my favorite dishes that I would easily rank as one of the top three for my area. If your diet is gluten free, there are many menu selections to accommodate you here!

Though I did not have room for dessert after the appetizers and main dish, there was no way I could resist taking the key lime pie to go as this is one of my favorite desserts! Sure am glad I did, it satisfied my sweet tooth and did not disappoint later that evening.

There are a couple other menu items that will have me return to this restaurant- the Bacon Wrapped Scallops for $29 and the Hot Honey Salmon for $26. See you soon Striper Bites!
